<h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>

<em>t.shift</em> is designed to temporally shift all registered maps in 
a space time dataset with a user defined granularity. Raster, 3D raster 
and vector space time datasets are supported.
<p>
The format of the absolute time granularity is "number unit". Number is 
an integer, unit is the temporal unit that can be one of year(s), 
month(s), week(s), day(s), hour(s), minute(s) or second(s).
<p>
The granularity in case of relative time is an integer. The temporal 
unit is the unit of the space time dataset and can not be modified.

<h2>NOTES</h2>
Be careful when shifting space time datasets with absolute time. The 
temporal granularity may change if you shift a space time dataset with 
a unit that is different from the space time dataset granularity. Be 
aware that the shifting with months and years may result in incorrect 
days per month. Shifting the date 20012-03-31 with a granularity of one 
month will result in 2012-04-31 which is incorrect. In this case an 
error will raise and the shifting will not performed for the whole 
dataset.
<p>
You can use the extraction module to shift only a subset of maps from a 
space time dataset. Be aware that the shifting of maps affect all space 
time datasets in which they are registered.

<h2>EXAMPLE</h2>

We create 6 raster maps and register them in a space time raster 
dataset using an increment of one day. Then we shift the time intervals 
with a granularity of 12 hours.
